Rumors

I'm getting the impression that Bo was supposed to simply "disappear" aka head to slaughter and never be seen again. I'm also betting that the person responsible for Bo's neglect is the one spreading rumors about Bo.

So here's what I know and you can help fill in the gaps.

Bo is a 10 year old National Show Horse. He was at the Mitchell Livestock Horse Auction March 12th with a bunch of horses. I have the previous, previous owner's name and email address and will be in contact with her. I will not disclose her name at this time. I'm wondering if people are getting me and her confused as we are both blondes.

Someone put an ad on Kelo asking for help in finding a horse that was taken from them before the sale. Her hip number was 7007. Bay mare named Misty. I emailed that person and said I dont' remember her but to contact the Mitchell Livestock Auction as they were very helpful. I also mentioned I'd bought a horse from that pen/lot.

I received an email from someone stating that she heard a rumor that I sold Bo at Kramers . It could possibly be that the girl that previously sold Bo took him to Kramers. Who bought him at Kramers I do not know.

The first time I ever set eyes on Bo was March 12th in the afternoon just before the auction. Didn't know who he was, who his previous owner was, what happened to him. Hell, I didn't even know if he was a mare or a gelding. When I paid for him, Bo was a sorrell mare and when I talked to the gal right after outbidding the KB, he was a bay gelding. I simply bought a horse that needed some help.

I have never sold a horse. I posted Maverick on Kelo once and then decided to pull him and I'm so very glad that I did. I will never sell him. I have only bought one horse from Kramers and that was Queen. Queen came from the neighbor's place so I knew some of her history. I attend Kramers to see what's there but have never even bothered to get a number except when I was buying Queen (hence the reason I've never bought any others). I have not attended Kramers since sometime last summer.

I recognized a number of people that attend Kramers at the Mitchell Livestock Auction. I also would hope that Kramers has a decent record of buyers/sellers and it would be pretty easy for someone to go to the auction and ask for records of my selling and buying. My "rap" sheet is going to be pretty slim. Buy = 1 horse (Oct 2007) Sell = nothing.

I can also tell you every horse I've ever owned, the month/year they came to live with us, and the month/year of the horses that have died in my care (I've never had one die due to neglect, they'ved all died due to old age).

And here I thought I was just a nobody that simply attended a few sales but never purchased anything. I thought I was simply a face in the crowd.

I know think someone had it out for Bo. Which is a pitty because he's an absolute doll. I'll write more about Bo but I wanted to clear up any rumor mills. I invite anyone out to see the horses and I'll talk your ear off.
